UNSPSC 50561504: Non GMO baldwin apple purees

The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO baldwin apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561504 Non GMO Baldwin Apple Purees (Commodity) covers canned and fresh apple products that state and local governments procure for food service operations, including school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers. Recent solicitations under this code span a narrow but consistent product mix: canned applesauce in bulk (sweetened, unsweetened, smooth, or chunky varieties), dried apple products such as crisps and bars, fresh apple varieties, and apple-based commodities meeting USDA grade and food safety standards. The issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, State of Georgia), county boards of education and commissioners (Hancock County Board of Education in Georgia, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), independent school districts (Austin Independent School District in Texas), city departments (City of Bridgeport, Connecticut), and specialized state institutions such as veterans homes and corrections facilities. State agencies and school districts represent the bulk of recent activity; no single jurisdiction dominates repeat procurement under the code.

Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and West, with the most recent solicitations posted from Oregon (Department of Corrections ITBs for canned applesauce in July and May 2026), Georgia (Gwinnett County and Hancock County school nutrition in October and June 2026, State of Georgia in May 2026), Texas (Health and Human Services Commission and Department of Criminal Justice in June and May 2026, Austin Independent School District in June 2026), Illinois (Chief Procurement Office for Illinois Veterans Home in August and June 2026), and Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education in June 2026).
